Ocean Signal RescueME AIS MOB1

Product description

Introducing the world’s smallest AIS MOB device with integrated DSC – the rescue ME MOB1 from Ocean Signal. The MOB1 is compatible with even the most compact inflatable life-jackets*.

The MOB1 is intended to be installed within the life-jacket* and will activate automatically on inflation, sending the first alert within 15 seconds.  The MOB1 is waterproof to 10 meters.

The integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility in low light conditions.

The MOB1 communicates with the vessel you have been separated from and other vessels in the vicinity (up to 5 miles range dependent on conditions). To alert rescue authorities, an alternative product the rescue ME PLB1 communicates directly via a dedicated search and rescue satellite network.

In an emergency rescue ME MOB1 provides 2 methods of rapidly communicating your position, accurate to a few meters,  back to the vessel, plus providing visual indication via its built in strobe light.

The best chance of rapid rescue if you fall overboard comes from your own vessel. Your crew needs to be immediately aware of the incident and keep track of your position whilst recovery is carried out. Even in the most moderate of seas it is alarming how quickly a visual sighting of a man overboard can be lost.

Once activated your MOB1 will transmit an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters in the vicinity. The integrated GPS ensures precise location is sent to your vessel and any others that may be assisting.

An additional feature of the MOB1, is its ability to activate the DSC alarm on your vessels VHF, alerting your crew to the situation.

Compatibility: Most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF comply with the standards required to receive MOB transmissions. It is however, especially if you are using older equipment, recommended that you check compatibility with the equipment manufacturer.
